We get it, you don't like Chris Haire. You don't have to insult math and logic at the same time. Where did you get that people would have to take a 38% paycut? You literally took the percentage that you determined was grant money and it magically turns into a 38% loss of revenue for the performers. All with no knowledge of how much a performance costs and a blatant disregard for the fact that plenty of art festivals have free shows. But people like to imagine downtown Charleston as their own little faux European city, without all the lower class people of course. "world-class city"...more like a poor man's Venice.

But please continue the dog and pony show. You're giving those Spoleto actors a run for their money.
